At this time, the raw material powder used generally has an average particle size of 1 μm or more.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As mentioned above, since the average particle size of the raw material powder is 1μ1 or more, uniform mixing is difficult, and the surface area of the interface between particles is small, so it occupies less than the entire sintered body. The proportion of superconducting layer was low. Furthermore, since the diffusion of constituent elements during sintering is the rate-determining factor for superconducting layer formation, it is no longer necessary to raise the sintering temperature, lengthen the sintering time, or increase the number of times of sintering. Furthermore, because of the high sintering temperatures, it has been difficult to find materials to sheath the superconducting material.

As a result, a high current of 1q can be applied. Also,
Since the diffusion distance of the constituent elements during sintering is short, the diffusion reaction is facilitated. Furthermore, since the interfacial energy between particles is high, the sintering reaction tends to proceed at low energy levels. Therefore, it is possible to lower the sintering humidity, shorten the sintering time, and reduce the number of times of sintering, thereby reducing the cost of the manufacturing process. The lower sintering temperature increases the variety of materials that can be used as the sheath material for the iB conductive material.

Each powder consisting of was used. The average particle size of each powder is 1.5μ
A sintered body made of a superconducting material was prepared by mixing and sintering the powders of the above-mentioned compounds at the same ratio using a sample with a diameter of 0.5 μm (comparative example) and a sample with a diameter of 0.5 μm (example). When the critical temperature Tc of the obtained 2ff superconducting material was measured, as shown in Figure 1 (Example) and Figure 2 (Comparative Example), the relationship between temperature and electrical resistance was that of the average particle size of 0.5 μm. It was found that the temperature at which the material becomes completely superconducting is higher when the material is used, and the transition temperature range between normal conductivity and superconductivity is also smaller. As a result, it is thought that the smaller the average particle size, the more homogeneous and high quality material is produced.

It was found that the electrical resistance relationship exhibits similar behavior. This suggests that the sintering temperature for obtaining similar properties is lower when the average particle size is smaller.
